spencerbranden, just saw your post 11/8/2015. I never heard of Zelenka either. One TH-cam website post advised looking up "The lesser known geniuses of the day". The one who posted mentioned three. I am forwarding what I found there: Pepusch, Quantz, and Jan Zalenka. Then, when you get to those sites, there are others to enjoy, since "the lesser known geniuses" are positioned and found together in specific groups on the right hand side columns of the pages on these sites.
@Montyleeny14 Miserere is the first word of Psalm n. 50, the second word being mei, it means have mercy on me. Where did you learn your latin, on reader's digest?
Never heard of this Zelenka, but nice music.

Might I ask the name of the painting used as the background image? All your background images are chosen well.
The concept of plagiarism didn't exist in Zelenka's time. Perhaps you could say he "appropriated" Frescobaldi's ricercar.

At what point in this recording does the ricercar begin?
